Reply to Combat mechanics change? in Warfare GalCiv2 Forums

I'd say no. Call me a fundamentalist if you want, but that's how it was designed. I think its a pretty good system.. there's parts of it thats complex (the formulas to calculate damage or not for example ) and there's parts thats simple, 3 weapon types and 3 corresponding defence types. What matters most to the player is how many can you jam on a ship. As for modders. It's hard to say what they will need since possibilities are man

Reply to Will Influence Area Visibility Be Fixed? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

There is an option to turn it off on the mini-map its default is 'on'. Oh wait. Someone beat me to that. If you never use Ctrl-N then you know what you're doing. If you, like me believe randomness can give you a very unfair start sometimes, seeing the aliens at the start gives an indication of if its possible you have a fair start. Sometimes you really get shafted. A lone system and no stars around while your opponents have clusters on

Reply to Some metaverse worthy mods in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Well so far I've been able to add as many new race logos and images as I've wanted. It only lets me choose different pics for leader and your empire's logo.. I guess it comes down to.. graphics modding is ok, but you mess with data modding you're going to end up with a cheat flagged game (ie 0 points ).

Reply to Fighters and Heavy Fighters in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Its a no brainer in the beginning. Lets see we can put in guns or defences but not both. For fighters at the most I'd ever put in is 1 pt. Behold the power of 1 (the square root of 1 is also 1 ) So you'll always have at least 1 pt. of defense. Problem is room for components. Fighters typically dont have much room. I put more defences on frigates/medium hulls.

Disabling tech trading may become 'optional' but its still been nerfed a bit from the release already. That's been my biggest beef. I never, never feel like I ever get a fair shake from the AI. We want Extreme entertainment and we'll give you missile weapon theory !?!? Oh geez. I've got news for the AI. I'd rather shoot them with a plasma gun (which is why i didnt bother with missiles). Not to mention the tech they want me

Reply to Managing economy in lategame in Economics GalCiv2 Forums

I usually station a fighter garrison, and convert the newly conquered world to farm/econ world bringing in cash to support the fleet. Unless the planet is fully developed capital or something then I just use it as my brand new staging area.

Reply to Defence and the Tech Curve in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

In the game, when you start getting techs... you have to go down the tree pretty far to get enough in a certain space. Just cause you think advanced deflectors sound cool you really need something like shields II ! Smaller, more defense rating per component. Just like weapons. You need to have advanced defence techs as well as the weapons.

Reply to Yor are Overpowered! in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Oh geez. Learn how to play. I can own the Yor so easy. Their bonuses are given to them and they are unique. It's not hard to overcome your starting position. It's the blasted torians who look like they read the infinite city sprawl articles out of Civ 3, colonizing the galaxy like cockroaches. Anyways. not to mention another blasted whiner, whining that something is bugged/broken when its actually intended/designed that way.

Reply to Question about Economic Starbases in Economics GalCiv2 Forums

The little freighters will be eventually... trade is between the two planets on the route going back and forth. What matters is a) does one end of trade route go to one of your planets? and b) is the starbase's range of effect covering part of the route?

Reply to Modding Preview in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

mods have the potential to change everything about the game.... however if theres a way to have 'graphics' modding only (you can have all the modded and cool looking ships you made/dl from the library ) and leave the metaverse data alone..

I request a review of starting bonuses in hopes that you'll comment on or at least update the values. I'll list - 1) Population Growth Bonus - this is capped by the game rendering this pick not worthwhile 2) PQ bonus - only affects the homeworld. please apply that to the all the planets or at least say it only affects the homeworld. 3) Research bonus - is only half as effective as what's listed.. you think you're g
